Put at least one more away. o—o We need some good showers if for no other reason than to give the sidewalks a good cleaning. Nearly ten thousand servicemen and women from Indiana were killed or died of illness during the war. O—o Every dollar you spend in advertising in the Daily Democrat should come back to you many fold. It pays. O—O It's time, to be getting ready for the fall and winter months. Get the furnace cleaned, put. the storm windows in condition and get tho fuel in. O—O Submarine boats from this country sank more than half the Japanese navy during the war, a total of three and a half million tons. Some record. O—o The navy will discharge nearly three million men during the next year, many of them before the end of the year if every thing goes along as now seems probable. O—o It’s going to be a little hard to get every one jobs if a few million don't want them badly enough to ask for them and are unwilling to give a good day’s service for his pay, but eventually it will iron out. O—O Quisling had a headache, so his trial in Oslo was postponed while, his physicians looked for a brain tumor. Their report: “we found nothing in his head" met general expectations. O—O At Fort Wayne during the week eliding August 25th. there were 789 unemployment claims for that division. This gives an idea of how rapid the change was since the week previously when only thirtyseven claims were filed there. O—O The prediction that individual taxes will he reduced try the fed oral government twenty per cent is not such bad news for those who have been worrying about squeezing out enough cash the next six months to meet this bill. Let 'er come. O—O If you have friende or loved ones overseas who you wish to remember for Christmas, you should plan to send the package between September 15th and October 15th. Deliveries will be even more difficult than before in many inevery though the wars are over. ’ * ’ K', • \ \ ——O—O——The Yanks are now on Japanese soil, the advance men for the airmy of occupation arriving Tuesday and others following hourly since that time. Headquarters are south ■

of Tokyo and the work of takln over affairs of the country wi: move rapidly from now on. O—O The “creeper" on the highway I • termed by police officers as alines t as great a menace as the speeder The Indiana laws anticipate tha ! the motorists will drive at a sen sible speed, not too fast and no t too slow, so that traffic will no be Interfered with and every bodj 1 can be happy and safe. I O—O At a conference held at Soutl ! Bend this week, labor and manage meat agreed to a “give and take policy, to prevent strikes and to proceed on the postwar path with results that should be best for each side. That's the spiilt that will really prove America a great country and a democracy the best form of government. O—O The premier of Japan has advised his people tv repent for their “bullying ways. Give them credit for realizing that was their "way." He says the atomic bomb and the emperor’s love for his people caused surrender. Pictures taken of the two cities hit by the new bombs show them "not theie , destruction having been complete. O—O The happiest people in the world right now are those Americans who have been held prisoner in I Japan for two to four years. 11l and I hungry and depressed they d'd-i n t know the war was over until the planes began dropping food and medicine to them. They gathered in groups, gave the Indian “snake dances" and otherwise showed their pleasure. O—O It seems doubtful that eighteen year old boys would be best qualified to serve during the occupation of Germany and Japan. Many of them would no doubt like the adventure but it would take them away from college and they might not be as wise or careful as those a little older and more experienced. Anywhy it's something the congressmen can have a good time talking over when they meet next week. O—O Governor Gates and his adviso, s have decided it might not be so wise politically to have a special session of the legislature just now. The call that seemed assured a few days ago has been postponed to “await developments in the industrial picture. “The cost would be considerable and the appropriations would no doubt be a large, total. The trouble is that a lot of things would come up during a forty-day special session and they might result in creating some new issues for the 1946 campaign. O—o One of the problems to be met by security officials is that of voluntary unemployment. In the state quite a number of war plant workers have quit their jobs and have or will apply for unemployment payments. With a god sized roll of cash they figure they can afford -to loaf a while, especially when they can draw’ twenty dollars per week for twenty weeks. At Indianapolis the past, week mor. than 8,000 claims were filed while jobs were open for more than 6,00( men. It’s a part of the post-wai headache. o * 4 Twenty Years Ago Today i< ! 4 ( Aug. 30, 1925 was Sunday. • * —4 1 Modern Etiquette - i By ROBERTA LIE * -4 • Q.

SYNOPSIS J TERRY ARNOLD. a your.g Vermont newspaperwoman, has written a fair- i Iv successful novel. To gather mate- , rial for a second book she has gone to the Argentine, her subject matter | t > be the wealthy playboy aet of that Latin-American country. , FITZ TURNER, a New York columnist in love with Terry, has vainly advised against the trip. i DON DE VERA is an Argentine news- , paperman who mistakes Terry for a , MISS AINSWORTH, a Boston heiress. • YESTERDAY: Believing her Idea for her novel a failure Terry .PU'-chases ■ a Clipper plane ticket back to New York, though she clings to the hope that something will occur to prolong her stay in Argentina. ■ CHAPTER TWO FOR ONE painful inatant Terry's ayes refused to focus on the figure coming through the revolving door. She was conscious only of the throbbing beat of the rhumba, the ; muffled roar of a lifting plane beyond the glass walls of the tearoom and the rhythm of her own ringing words. "If a woman comes through next, 1 go home, but if it’s a man, I stay . . Then the enveloping haze around ; the fateful person slowly faded. Terry’s hammering heart seemed to •top. . . . 3 It was a man! A short, stocky man in loose hanging lop coat and Slouch hat. Terry never saw him 1 again, but years later she could describe him in detail. She took a deep breath and a tingle of reckless V happiness shot through her. s “I love that man,” she said. She tipped the astonished waiter and b made her way out of the tearoom I full of hope, brimming with her i own bright humor instead of the e ■ sardonic gloom that had filled her io’■ when she came in. It was not until she was crossing the vast airport ir i again that any misgiving assailed I her. Nothing had changed, really, she rebuked herself, except that she had tricked herself into doing a ♦ completely mad thing. It was idiotic to be happy about it. Perhaps, she calmed her conscience, she couldn’t turn in hei « ticket so near plane time. Then she would have to go home. She dug into the dark recesses of her handbag and brought out the small en velope. Her hand trembled notice • ably as she slipped it through thi polished brass grillwork, "Could : get my money back?" The mstn gave the ticket swift professional glance, and pullei w open a drawer. .... "Certainiy. We have people wait tag for cancellations on that flight.

gage window. The dark-eyed attendant here remembered the beautiful, joking Norte American in pants. He grinned sunnily at her. “Your luggage we are just taking now to the plane.” Terry put down her baggage check on the metal counter. “You i can bring it back then, please,” she | said. “I’m not going.” She reflected humorously, while waiting for her cab at the front entrance later, if all the puzzled Latins she had left in her wake in the last few minutes could be laid end to end. ... She didn’t finish the thought because her gaze had jolted to an embarrassed stop. A few feet away from her, also waiting for a cab and now staring at her with rebuking suspicion, were the three newspapermen.' | She could have read their minds at 20 paces. So she was taking the plane, was she ? Why, the chiseling little double-faced, press-dodg’.ig Got-rocks! (Or the South American news-hawk equivalent.) Her gaze moved on vaguely. Maybe they wouldn’t follow it up. But, as she hurried across to the approaching cab, she realized they were moving to intercept her. De Vera, the tall dark one, bowed. I “You are NOT taking the plane, Senorita?” j Terry tried for a bright, casual i smile. “I’ve changed my mind.” Three pairs of dark eyes smiled II at her Inscrutably. 11 “A woman’s privilege, you know,’ Terry argued. • “But naturally," murmured D<

I Vera. i The driver slid Terry’s bag into r' the cab, climbed back behind his s wheel, and raced his engine impar tiently. Terry got in quickly and 1 one of the newspapermen shut the t door. 1 “Where, Senorita?” The driver was painfully twisting his fat neck e half around. a The three newspapermen lounged I- against the cab and grinned at Terry maliciously, waiting for her i- reply. ■r “Drive on,” said Terry desperatee ly. "I haven’t decided.” g De Vera gave her an understand- |. ing beam and leaned toward the i- driver. »- “The Plaza, of course, Pedro,” he ie said; “and drive carefully.” The cab I pulled away from the curb with a jerk and Terry sat back violently. t, She righted herself again, indigid nant and amused. She would have to tell him where to go. The’Plaza t- win..: fantastically; experisive. But .«/ Bhe,hesitP*d.

I tore she eouid overcome thin last ■ temptation, they had pulled up into j the portecochcre and a large doorman in moss green livery generously swirled with gold braid, was opening the door. She smiled at the imposing doorman. If he only knew, she thought, I what a familiar figure he was to j her. She had scuttled by him often jin het sports coat and walking 1 shoes, slipping into the hotel for an I hour of eager watching and eavesdropping in a frantic effort to understand and exploit the smart, cosmopolitan Argentine set that made this their headquarters when they came in from their estrancias. But she had never met even one. i As she followed the boy with her : bag across the vast lobby, she felt , sobered. She wouldn’t meet one of them now. She was throwing her i money away. Why, she asked her- : self fiercely as she kept on walking ’ toward the desk, was she so stub- ’ born? A single comforting thought i came to her. The desk was thronged with people. The night before the . race. But of course the hotel would . be filled. She would still be saved 5 from her mad action. y And then she saw De Vera. He b was draped in nonchalant fashion over the black marble desk while i, his companions slouched comfortably in nearby chairs. il “For a moment you had given ua the slip,” he smiled pleasantly. d She was glowering at him when the clerk thrust the pen into her ’’ hand. “You have a reservation, naturally?” he purred. ie There was a glint of relief In

Terry’s eyes as she assured him she did not. He frowned. Terry felt happier. "Well, if you haven’t anything—” It was then she saw the swift look that passed between the clerk and the newsmen. The clerk abruptly beamed at her. “By the great good fortune we have something left I am assured would please th< senorita." Terry could have happily choked each of the three benevolent newsmen. She signed her name in bold letters, but the clerk was prepared for a nom de plume. He merely exchanged a fresh look with the newsmen and, as he called up an attendant to escort her to her room, handed Terry a racing form. The senorita might like this. . De Vera followed her to the elevator. “Perhaps,”r he murmured, “she would give him a tip on tomorrow’s race.” Terry smiled grijnly at him. Tm playing UVIfAST CHANCE,” she said cryptically. “You might try it to win.” She stepped, on the elevator and as it shot up ghe, glanced at the racing form her amusement at his puzzled look. And then her eyes stopped on a Hr*. “Ultimo Ventura." It meant "last chance”! (To Be Continued) ■ V ; ft r

The adult Japanese did not cheer. They stared without expression and, once in a while, you could detect a flicker of hate in the eyes of these people who were our enemy until a fc w da >’ s a K°I talked to many people in Tokyo today and found almost as many different attitudes as there were people. One of the most worried men I spoke with was Jorge Vargaa, ambassador here for the , puppet Philippines regime. Vargas, a short, chubby man with gray hair, sat in the luxurious living room of the villa which the Japanese gave him for an embassy and said he had stayed behind and worked with the Japanese because “certain responsible people” wanted him to. But he wondered what Gen. Douglas MacArthur would think of his actions.
